Social development is about putting people at the center of development.This means a commitment that development processes need to benefit people, particularly but not only the poor, but also a recognition that people, and the way they interact in groups and society, and the norms that facilitates such interaction, shape development processes.

Shivam Pratishthan is a brain child of Shri. Indrajeet Deshmukh (Additional CEO In Rural Development Dept Govt of Maharastra)

The Sole motive to form such a Centre is to provide a platform to inculcate, enhance a self believe thought process to uplift the youth for the betterment of the Society which in-turn results in the enlistment of the Country

Shivam Prathisthan started in 1998 spreading the good-will message, values to the youth

In its first year it had 36 volunteers and with-in short period it has motivated and catapulted to 15000 volunteers

The Pratisthan is on its track to achieve for what it was born for as 90 % of the volunteers are youth (Age Group 16-23).
